Anyway toonami i think is going to be hard to get out of my system. i grew with it. like with pokemon.

And i also think CN is going down the drain. they are just getting more and more crapper shows. shows for the dumb and they get shows that are "suppose" to be funny. i watch the show that is "suppose" to be funny and when they get so crap joke i go to myself."When do i start laughing?"

11 years of toonami. and how long is pokemon? 10 years is it? it is amazing how time can fly behind ur back.

And tom. who can't foget Tom. i loved him. even my mum would stay up late to watch tom ot wat she called tom the blue thing. lol. now toonami is gone it would take a matter of years beofre Cartoon network follows.

I think what is keeping CN alive is Pokemon, Naruto and other anime shows. CN and pokemon nearly grew together. back then when Pokemon was new CN was great. no crap shows and crap comedy shows. but now. it's like i don't know CN anymore. its just really crap to me now.

Also i would like to meantion that now toonami is gone i think adult swim is next. i mean adult swim isn't like toonami.on fridays adult swim put crap comedy shows that my and my little bro go, WTF is this crap? that isn't even funny.

And now they are taking off Toonami? well that gose most of the viewers. most of my friends only watch CN becoz of toonami. If pokemon, naruto and all the anime shows go to well bye bye cartoon network, nice knowing you! thanks for giving us crap shows during ur fall in buisness!

And here is the CN report of ending Toonami.

America's Cartoon Network has reportedly revealed at Georgia's Anime Weekend Atlanta convention this morning that it will end its Toonami programming block tonight after 11 years. The official announcement will be made during tonight's final run, with an "important message" during the 10:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. ET/PT timeslot. Naruto has been the only Japanese series in this Saturday evening block recently, but Toonami used to host a variety of Japanese-animated programs when it began as a weekday afternoon block in 1997. Among those titles were Voltron, Robotech, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, Ronin Warriors, G-Force: Guardians of Space, Blue Submarine No. 6, Tenchi Muyo!, Cardcaptors, Zoids, .hack//SIGN, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, The Big O, Outlaw Star, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Cyborg 009, Duel Masters, Astro Boy, Gundam, Rave Master, Zatch Bell, One Piece, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Pokémon, MÄR, The Prince of Tennis, Megaman Star Force, Bakugan Battle Brawlers, and Blue Dragon. The Toonami Jetstream online streaming service will reportedly still continue, and Cartoon Network is working to import the Japanese-animated Demashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z spinoff that is based on its own Powerpuff Girls series.

Two episode of Naruto are currently scheduled for tonight at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. The 2002 live-action Spider-Man film will run instead of Toonami on September 27, although most television listings have not been updated yet. Batman: Gotham Knight, this summer's Japanese-animated video tie-in to The Dark Knight film, will then run on October 4 at 8:00 p.m. After Batman: Gotham Knight, an episode of Naruto, "Powerful Helper," will run at 9:30 p.m., but there are no other episodes scheduled yet

When Toonami was still good it was one of the main blocks that I watched. And along with Adult Swim (which has also taken a turn for the worse) were the only two reasons that I watched CN. Now the only thing that I watch on there is Robot Chicken and Family Guy on occasion.

Of course its gone downhill big time since then but its still sad to hear that something that lasted for so long is now done.

I do agree with you Midnight that CN is only doing somewhat well right now because of anime. I can't even bear to listen to some of their new shows. Oh well, it'll be interesting to see how it'll do in the years to come after its prime. At least I'm glad to say that Toonami was at its prime while I was still wanting to watch all of that.

Unlikely.

They won't be bringing it back short of some public outcry. As far as Adult Swim goes, the Saturday block might get axed, but the Sunday/weekday blocks won't. Those blocks all have pretty high ratings for late-night blocks. The Saturday block has abysmally low ratings, so >.>

The reason they don't have the shows they used to is due in large part to contract agreements. The shows can run a maximum of so long, plus a movie, and then they wither away to obscurity. Ed, Edd n' Eddy is an exception, because it was wildly popular even as CN pushed shows like the Powerpuff Girls. I have heard rumors that they may again work on Courage the Cowardly Dog (One of their most popular series to date) but these are unconfirmed, and likely untrue.

Power. That is all I crave. And I shall have it. Whether I take it from the magic of the demons, or the souls of humans, I shall grow ever more powerful. Undeath truly is a blessing.
